Description
Overview:
This riving knife is a genuine DeWalt/Black & Decker safety component for the DW743 and DW743N combination saws. Made from durable metal, it sits directly behind the blade to keep the cut kerf open, helping to prevent timber pinching the blade and causing kickback.

Suitable for trade and DIY users, it restores the original safety performance of your machine and is straightforward to install, helping you maintain safe, consistent cutting on site or in the workshop.
